Some VB applications were very nice design wise, and ditto with TCL/Tk. They were it a bit loated for its era (Pentium I-III), but I've seen worse JS aberrations.
I read this as a negative. As in, as soon as someone without experience touches JavaScript, everything becomes complex quickly.
Which is probably somewhat true now in the GenAI + over-engineered framework age.
